Maya Angelou Quotes ~ Inspiring & Life Changing Truths From

When I opened up my computer this morning and read that author, poet and all around extraordinary woman Maya Angelou passed away at the age of 86, my heart sunk. She was an incredible woman who has inspired me for years now. Her book “Letters to my Daughter” was one of my favourites. I use it as a reference book, reading it regularly. Her wise words are filled with truth. She was one of those people that made the world a better place. Her legacy will live on, inspiring generation upon generation thanks to the media clips and books we have. For this I am forever grateful.
